Product Manual

An “Inverter Cable Kit” (positive cable, negative cable, and proper fuse) is
needed to connect the inverter to a battery bank. An 8-gauge wire is also
recommended to connect the inverter’s bonding lug to system ground.
The inverter cable length and the size of the inverter will determine the cable gauge
and the fuse size to use. The maximum inverter cable recommended is 15-ft; it
must be fused within 18 inches from the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Cross reference the inverter model and the estimated cable length in the table
below to determine the proper cable gauge and fuse size. An inverter cable kit
designed to SAE guidelines can be purchased directly from Sensata – call for
options.

To make your own “Inverter Cable Kit,” follow the below recommendations:
1. Use stranded copper cables in all cases.
2. USE SGX cross-linked polyurethane insulation type that complies with the high
temperature insulation requirements (125°C.) of SAE J-1127 and
vehicle manufacturer requirements.
3. For 1/4" ring lugs, use Waytek 35000 or JST 22-6 for 4 gauge cable. Use Waytek
35020 or JST 38-S6 for 2 gauge cable.
